FILM Fun
Here is some animation from BLU, playing with large scale animated morphs.. made on public walls in Beunos Aires. Go here for Muto, and more from Blu.
And here, its all in the performance... a beautiful study of expressions and characters, a touching story yet one that lifts your spirits! Watch "When the Day Breaks' by Amanda Forbis and Wendy Tilby. The first time you watch it, just enjoy the experience. Watch it a second time, and this time remember all the things we discussed in our last weeks class.. weight, gesture, body language, character design...
